EP 147: Gone To The Dogs with Ed Zorn and Kenneth Tulles

In this episode Steve visits with Deep East Texas coon hunters Ed Zorn and Kenneth Tulles.Kenneth, a former rodeo cowboy and Army veteran, attributes his love for coon hunting, and a world of experience he’s gained, to his association with octogenarian Ed Zorn. At age 88 years, Ed was born in the small town of Cloverleaf, about twenty miles from Houston. He still actively feeds, in Kenneth’s words, his blue dog addiction by coon hunting.Both Zorn and Tulles hunt Blueticks.It is veteran hunters like Ed Zorn whom Steve tries to seek out as potential guests, believing they hold a wealth of knowledge and information that will benefit anyone within the sport that cares to listen to their experiences. Our guest this week fits the mold perfectly. Listen as Ed tells how his coon hunting habit broke him of chasing girls, ruined his love life and launched him into a lifetime of enjoying hounds. Particularly enjoyable are his and Kenneth’s stories of hunts with Stagger Lee, a Bluetick of questionable parentage, suspect registration and devastating physical disadvantage that Zorn describes as being bad to the bone.This is a look back over time as Steve examines the life of a man that has enjoyed coon hunting for more years than many coon hunters of today can claim or imagine. You will like this one.        We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts
